Dark_AleX's 3.02 OE-B released!

PSP

This holiday season just keeps getting better for PSP homebrew users. Obviously, listing all of them would just be considered as wasting time, so I'll get right to the purpose of this post. Dark_AleX has just released the much anticipated update to his earlier custom firmware, 3.02 OE-A. And as promised, the new version will allow you to play your own PlayStation titles, rather than waiting for Sony to release them.

The only new feature in this release is the ability to play your own PlayStation titles, so I won't write up a changelog. Secondly, you can only get 3.02 OE-B on your PSP by upgrading from 3.02 OE-A, which means that if you're one of the few who haven't upgraded to 3.02 OE, it's time to do it now! Once you're on 3.02 OE-B, it's best to check out the readme.

The instructions for converting your PlayStation games to the POPS format are included in the popstation folder inside the archive. Here is a list of FAQs that Dark_AleX has included in the readme:

Q: My game generated is a lot bigger in size than the same one from the PS3 Store.
A: They use compression. Because the algorithm of compression is not still cracked, compressed isos are not supported yet.
Q: I have my game in bin/cue.
A: Use the bin as the ISO while converting.
Q: I have my game in img/ccd...
A: Use the img as the ISO while converting.
Q: The savegames have the icon of Hot Shots 2!
A: It's normal. Don't worry.

The only problem right now is that the emulator isn't 100% compatible with all the games out there. That's something you'll have to wait for Sony to fix. For the full instructions on converting your games to the POPS format, refer to the readme inside the popstation folder. In case any of you are having problems with the popstation converter, it's probably something to do with the file cygwin1.dll. Not to worry though, you can download the file from the link below and place the cygwin1.dll file in C:/Windows/System32/ folder. That should fix it. I'm already busy converting my small collection of PSX games to the POPS format. Have fun!

# Me dont get it... — Guest 2006-12-25 01:51

Can anyone tell me how to convert my games? oO

I really dont get it...

Execute popstation.exe from the command line. You have to pass one parameter, which is the filename

of the iso. e.g:

> popstation yadayada.iso

This wont work for me.... okay... i'm no friend of DOS....oO

# wow — Guest 2006-12-25 02:03

MAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAANNNNNNN I LOVEEEEEEEEEE U DAAAAAARRRRKKKK K ALEEXXXXXXX!!!! BTW merry christmas everyone

# ummmm... — Guest 2006-12-25 02:03

A#1: that site you just posted is for PSP isos, not PS1 isos. I know a good site, but i also know better than to post it on these forums. aaaaaaaaand...

A#2: i try to open popstation.exe and it tells me to F off. Well, specifically it says "cygwin1.dll was not found". I reffered to the readme and it talks of going to the PS3store to get the iso, but i thought this was for converting your own PS1 games - ie. actual game discs you own. Im gonna go grab what few ones i didn't sell off for ganj when PS2 came out and I'll post again with the results. If anyone is reading this and laughing their ass off because I'm doing something horribly wrong - get me at yahoo (SouthtownZ@yah oo.com).

\And, once again, thx Dark Alex - truly the king of the homebrew.

# No, — GaveUpTomorrow 2006-12-25 02:03

it is not usable on a ta-82, sorry :( ...I feel your pain.

# whatever ya want matey — Guest 2006-12-25 02:06

you convert iso's which is the typical format you will find them in on filesharin, or just make an iso from the game usin alchahol120% or nero

# Yes, ... — GaveUpTomorrow 2006-12-25 02:07

but that would be piracy and thus illegal. Why not jump on Ebay and buy a couple of the games you want to play the legal way? You can get most ps1 games for next to nothing now a days, except for a select few... If you want to ignore all things moral though, I guess I can't stop you...

# nice — Guest 2006-12-25 02:08

very impressed

gonna flash it up now ;)

finally i can play thrill kill on my psp!

# Final Fantasy — marv101 2006-12-25 03:12

For those querying Final Fantasy, it shouldn't matter about changing discs - Final Fantasy allows you to save your game before loading the next disc. All you have to do is switch off the game, change the eboots (or "discs") around, and load it. It SHOULD work fine.

I have tried this with several games, and it always says this. Can someone post exactly what they did to get theirs to work?

# law sucks sometimes — Guest 2006-12-25 04:37

The problem is that popstation needs some information that is stored in hot shots golf 2 and it would be illegal to distribute that data. I think that was what happened to booster when he disappeared for a while, that he had distributed the firmware dumps along with his DevHook (I don't know for sure though)

im really having trouble, i have gone over guide lines and created an eboot through pops but when i add it to my psp and boot it in the xmb menu it goes past the psx warning and then doesnt load

i have tried it with a few games i.e ntsc and pal but still won't work with any!

has anyone else had this problem

i put the eboot in just a random file name in the game folder, would this effect it?

# I think so.... — Guest 2006-12-25 05:01

When I downloaded (not leagal of course), I got a folder called "SCUS94476" that I put in my game folder and that worked well. But I'm afraid I don't know how you should name yours...

hey guys ive been having toruble with pops I got the cygwin1.dll file into system32 and got the hot shots golf 2 eboot and renamed it to base.php and the have the keys and dat file named document all in the same folder with my ff7 disc one IMG file together but when I try to run it from and type in "C:\Documents and Settings\Sifu TP\Desktop\pops tation\popstati on.exe" Final Fantasy VIII CD.ISO all that happens is it pops popping up and then closing anyone know what im doing wrong?

# Just tried FF7 and... — Vipre77 2006-12-25 05:11

It seems to be taking an awefully long time to load. Waited a few minutes now and the PlayStation logo hasn't even shown yet. Just sitting at a blank screen. Hey, Psy, you said you got it working? How long does it take to launch the game on your PSP?

I used Nero to make an ISO. My Plextor drive couldn't read all the files on the original disc, but my Samsung drive managed it, or so it seemed.

# I'm experiencing a problem — Guest 2006-12-25 05:12

When I try to open the popstation thing, it opens then closes out. Anyone know what's going on?

# Thanks DA! And some useful infos — Guest 2006-12-25 05:12

Thanks D_A! You da man!

BTW, I don't have Hot shots, but I got Crash Bandicoot. I used that one instead, and IT WORKS!

I made a CCD (with Alcohol120) out of Legend Of Legaia, made a few pics in PNG, ran the popstation and ET VOILA! Put that on the PSP, and it runs smoooooth!

Now I gotta undust the 150 or so PS1 title I got

# Dark_Alex = Santa — Guest 2006-12-25 06:28

Got some nice presents this christmas but the one Dark_Alex just gave us beats them all.

Had .iso rips of my old bought FF7 game for the PS1 already so got them made into eboot fast and works like a charm, with only a few minor graphic glitches (which is probably because my FF7 is PAL version).

Thanks a ton Dark_Alex!

# download hot shot — Guest 2006-12-25 06:30

here i have finally found tha link for tha ps1 game

http://www.megaupload.com/?d+GXA3Q885

# HOW TO CONVERT YOUR GAMES. — Guest 2006-12-25 06:30

Rule #1: Your PS1 game(s) has to be in ISO format. Not BIN, CUE, or whatever. If you want to convert your game image to ISO, use this program called MagicISO.

Rule#2: Cygwin1.dll has to be present in C:\Windows\Syst em32\. If not, drag and drop it into there.

(example: C:\Windows\Syst em32\Cygwin1.dll)

Once you have your ISO and say that it is metalgear.iso, make sure that the ISO and everything else needed is in ONE FOLDER TOGETHER.

Now, click on START and goto RUN. Yes... the "Start" on the bottom left of your screen that is part of Windows.

:-P

And in double quoation mark ("like this") it will be the path to your popstation.exe file.

(example: "C:\Documents and Settings\YourCo mputer\Desktop\ popstation\pops tation.exe")

Now... hit the SPACE key, on your keyboard. Now in another double quoation mark, type the path to your ISO file.

(example: "C:\Documents and Settings\YourCo mputer\Desktop\ popstation\meta lgear.iso")

So the RESULT would look like this.

C:\Documents and Settings\YourCo mputer\Desktop\ popstation\pops tation.exe" "C:\Documents and Settings\YourCo mputer\Desktop\ popstation\meta lgear.iso"

Now, press ENTER on your keyboard and it should tell you that it is converting. and you'll notice that the EBOOT.PBP file is being generated.

---------

Note: You can get the path to both the popstation.exe and the path to your game by right-clicking on them.

GOOD LUCK!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!

# THANK YOU !!! — Guest 2006-12-25 06:30

BTW in case anyone needed the correct sizes for custom images.

ICON0.PNG = 144x80

PIC0.PNG = 310x180

PIC1.PNG = 480x272

Also I used the Crash Bandicoot EBOOT & KEY and made a flawless Castlevania EBOOT.

# popstation problems here — Guest 2006-12-25 06:48

Okay I have cmd prompt open i drag popstation onto there it creates its cmd line bla bla bla C:\documents and setting\name\de sktop\oeb\popst ation\popsation .exe

Okay after that I drag in my RE2 bin and it creates its cmd line that should be it shouldn't it? But it doesn't work all it does after you push enter is give you some bullsh*t msg that it can't open the bin. Thats not what I want, I want it to convert WTF.

# popstation — TracerTong 2006-12-25 08:53

Put the popstation folder in the ROOT of your C drive

fire up DOS Prompt

type cd..

and again cd..

then type cd popstation

You should now be in the popstation folder....

Now type popstation silenthill.iso (no space in the name)

should work now... you should see a list of text, wait for a bit, depending on the iso. the PBP is being generated.

put the EBOOT.PBP and the KEYS.BIN in a folder and copy to X:PSP/GAME

# +)))))) — Guest 2006-12-25 08:55

Okay I finally got my thing to work. When You start up the DOS does it automatically shut off? if not then u have to manually find the "popstation" folder in the DOS menu (easier if u just place the popstation folder right where the command line is)

after that, put the Syphon Filter EBOOT.PBP and KEYS.BIN file into the popstation folder.

Rename the EBOOT.PBP into BASE.PBP

when you have the ISO file inside the POPSTATION folder also, in the command DOS type

C:\Documents and settings\Craig>cd popstation (this gets you into the popstation folder)

then this will come up

C:\documents and settings\Craig\ popstation>

now type "popstation "file name"

take example i did final fantasy 7

popstation final fantasy 7.iso

# Game Save issue — TracerTong 2006-12-25 10:04

One thing to keep in mind is the Game Save. As it's called Hot Shots 2 regardless of the converted game I would maybe back it up if you have more than 2 converted game on your MS.

Would be a pisser if you got quite far into a game Gran Tourismo and then run something else that has the autosave on.

Hi, I'm having the same problem, I think it has something to do with PAL/NTSC, because first it was just blank, then when I tried converting region with some program it showed the PS logo, but it didn't get any further than that though

# wrong folder — Guest 2006-12-25 10:17

They're going in the ISO folder on the root of your memorystick, just like with devhook if you've used that before

# no — Guest 2006-12-25 10:19

It's just the freeplay or something that has been removed, the browser and system settings work fine, you just have to go there once and crash so that it can rewrite your configurations and then there will be no problem

# What did I do wrong? — Guest 2006-12-25 10:20

I'm on 3.02 OE-B, my game folder homebrew is 1.50 kernel, and all the files seem to be in the right place. Yet, whenever I run a game, it only shows the white text, then it accesses the mem stick/hard drive and then gives an error message of 80020321 and a "the game could not be started". I've tried it with two different games now and neither one works. Any suggestions?

# me too — Guest 2006-12-25 10:22

I got that too, but I tried converting PAL to NTSC and then it hangs up on the PS logo instead, so my guess is that we need original NTSC (+USA) games

# .pbp and isos — Guest 2006-12-25 10:24

Where do you put the eboot.pbp file once it is finished beign convert by popstation? Any help will be appreciated. Also where do i put my isos? In PSP/GAME ? Doesn't seem to load up on the XMB for me...again any help will be highly appreciated...

# Final Fantasy Tactics — Guest 2006-12-25 10:29

Well, can't get FFT to work. I've ripped the image from my NTSC-U/C PSX disc (the Greatest Hits edition) to ISO, CCD/IMG, and CUE/BIN formats, then ran popstation on it (with my Hot Shots 2 EBOOT.PBP), and every time I try running it on my PSP I get: "The game could not be started. (80010002)"

# help — Guest 2006-12-25 11:45

godfrilla, if u want to use ur PS1 games, u gotta plance the folders in the GAME folder and configure the XMB to launch the GAME folder as the 3.02 Kernel. To do this, you can go to the RECOVERY menu by holding down R, hit X @ configuration and hit X on the GAME FOLDER HOMEBREW. I tried all this and the work fine (even with debranding)!

# Hehe, silly. — Guest 2006-12-25 12:10

Open the command prompt (cmd) using the Run command. Navigate to where the popstation folder is on your computer. Now type in, without quotes, "popstation.exe NAME_OF_ISO.iso". It'll do it's magic, then you copy the resulting EBOOT.PBP and KEY.BIN into the PSP\GAME\GAME_N AME folder on your Memory Stick.

Wasn't hard, was it? Of course not.

» popstation

Put the popstation folder in the ROOT of your C drive

fire up DOS Prompt

type cd..

and again cd..

then type cd popstation

You should now be in the popstation folder....

Now type popstation silenthill.iso (no space in the name)

should work now... you should see a list of text, wait for a bit, depending on the iso. the PBP is being generated.

put the EBOOT.PBP and the KEYS.BIN in a folder and copy to X:PSP/GAME

Every time that i do this when i get to the part cd popstation it says the system could not find the path specified i have it in the root

Maybe you have it in the wrong folder. if you have the game folder set to 1.50 kernal, put in in game, if you have it set to 2.71 kernal, put it in game150. But either way you can put it in game150 and it should work, I think, so try putting it in the game150 folder, if there isn't one there, make one ;)

then pushed enter. it started working and after awhile, it created an eboot file. i then copied the eboot plus the key file into psp/game/evildead and ran it from the xmb. worked perfect. im very impressed. thanks for your work DA!

checked in today to see this OE-B firmware and nowhere in the download page or the linked page does it say requiring OE-A to install. so I load up the OE-B update folder and run it, now it's all broke. the PSP turns on and just sits at the black screen with the power light on then eventually shuts off. so i open up the readme and it just casually says 'this is the update from OE-A to OE-B'.. i recommend at least putting it in BIG BOLD LETTERS ON THE MAIN LINK PAGE THAT THIS WILL BRICK YOUR PSP IF YOU DONT HAVE OE-A PREVIOUSLY INSTALLED

cause this ***** sucks.

to the idiots telling me that it says you need oe-a on the download page, it doesn't, read. to the other idiot who said there's a reason it's called 'oeb updater'... look back to the 2.71se-c, one of the main draws to updating was the future ability of allowing updates, not having to completely re-install a new firmware everytime an update is released.

# Help — Guest 2006-12-25 14:59

If anyone is wondering, this is the error I keep getting:

*** system shared memory version mismatch detected - 0x75BE0096/0x75BE0084.

This problem is probably due to using incompatible versions of the cygwin DLL. Search for cygwin.dll using the Windows->Find/Search facility and delete all but the most recent version. The most recent version *should* reside in x:\cygwin\bin, where 'x' is the drive on which you have installed the cygwin distribution. Rebooting is also suggested if you are unable to find another cygwin DLL.

Problem is

# Error code 80000004 — Guest 2006-12-25 15:19

I Finally got my psx game converted(Heart of darkness)

I took the eboot file and the key.bin file that was produced by popstation and putted it in the game folder for 3.02 kernel acces.(not the 150 folder)

I boot it up and all i get is this damn error code.

It's the second game i tried.

It's converted from a Bin/Cue file and not iso.

But that shouldn't be a problem normally.

I have read somewhere that the code 80000004 is something like:no correct data...?

What did i do wrong,cause i don't see the problem.

Hey, guys and congrats to Dark_Alex for making a breakthrough in the psp hombrew scene. I know alot of you have a ta-082 motherboards and i am very sorry for you guys. But i got the problem on the computer side you see im running vista x64 rtm final and when i place cygwin into the sys32 folder and launch popstation, it just loads and exits immediately. I would really appreciate it if someone out there would make a gui version of this say through c++ now im not begging, im just saying if you feel like helping out a fellow psp user than go ahead im sure there are 1000's of n00bs who dont really know how to work this thing (i do btw lol). And is it ok if i use the crash bandicoot eboot instead of the hot shots. Any help will be greatly appeciated. And thanks again dark_alex for making this the best christmas for the psp hombrew scene.

Here is the help the nobody could explain like 4 hours ago

-Take this Cygwin1.dll file and paste it to your C:/Windows/System32/

-Now in the "oeb" folder, open it and go to the "popstation" folder

-Get the Hot shots 2 game here and get its keys.bin, and put it in the same directory of the popstation.exe, then copy the EBOOT and rename it from EBOOT.PBP to BASE.PBP

-Backup your psx CD to a cd image, using the ISOBUSTER program and then extract the ISO/BIN/CUE or whatever you see as a Image file. If you don't have a PSX game, them Download them from this Website (click me)

-Move the .ISO/.BIN/.CUE or whatever you see as a image to the same directory as the popstation.exe (ex.MetalGearSolid.bin)

-Rename your .ISO/.BIN/.CUE or whatever you have as a image to CD

-Go to the START menu on your Computer, Then hit "RUN"

-After that a small window should pop up with a empty address bar thingy, and next to it will say "Open:"

-Paste this in it ("C:\Documents and Settings\your user name here\Desktop\oe b\popstation\po pstation.exe" "C:\Documents and Settings\your user name here\Desktop\oe b\popstation\CD .bin") without the parenthesis............ ( )

# none — Guest 2006-12-25 16:40

If its for the ps3 downloaded ver. you have to collect 3 of those "thingies" which takes you to a "bonus" stage, when you complete that, it lets you pick a save file for the game. the "bonus" games are once every 2 or 3 levels. or you can just find the cheat codes for levels past where you are currently, like gamefaqs.

If it was my decision, I would go with a solid "no". unless you want to wait "even longer". I mean, so far, they have had some sucess with the 82's, but I mean, they are coming along nicely with them, it would be a shame to update to 302 and find out tomorrow the 82's were decrypted. I dont think you would be able to play the "own psx backup's" either--not too sure on this, but i think its only OE-B's that can do this. (and A if i remember the readme correctly)

" how do you download files from that rapidshare site"

Sir, you are uncouth and when help is offered you disdain it. Fie on you. One downloads from the Rapidshare site as is commonly done. Grow some manners and read some instructions, sir, before you return to these parts.

(Well I get tired of all the stupid illiterate people on here). :)

You need to run it from the command line.

# death69... — Guest 2006-12-25 18:58

what app did you use to make your iso? i used alcohol 120 for FF7 and MGS. alcohol wouldn't take my FFt disc. I ended using nero and magic iso but no success.

Same here. So Dark_AleX, when are you gonna fix it so I don't need BASE.PBP or KEYS.BIN?

# watever it is dun upgrade — axelixc 2006-12-25 19:09

just be patient. right now there isn't any exploit found in 2.81 yet. once found there will be a new version of generic downgrader (hopefully from dark alex again) for u but remember u can't downgrade 2.81 to lower than 2.50 coz lower than tat it will 100% brick.

well if there is a downgrader 4 u, at least u can downgrade to 2.71 and use HEN-D to play iso game + many homebrew. Cheer up mate.

This might be off topic, but can you downgrade a 2.5 TA-082 PSP to a 1.5??? then throw this 3.2 OE-AB on there???

# First of all... — Guest 2006-12-25 19:39

I'll help you for free. Don't need money, so don't bother. I had the exact same problem, but easily fixed it an hour ago. I was running 1.5 and having problems with devhook 0.51, so i reformatted my stick, downloaded the auto installer for 3.02 OE-A(you can downgrade, don't worry), and installed 3.02 OE-A. Everything works like a charm now!

# Read this post carefully. — Guest 2006-12-25 19:40

Stop your howling and read this man's post. He has provided you with everything you need, if only you follow his instructions.

Go to Rapidshare. Download the files he has provided. Unpack the RAR with the password he has given you. Follow his words.

Here is a few extra pointers.

Make a directory that has a very simple path. Like C:\ALEX (note that this board might remove the backslash that should be there). Copy all the things you need in there using the explorer.

Open a shell like this: Go to the Start button. Click on it. Come over to the 'Run' menu item. Click on it. You now see a box into which you can type commands. Type 'cmd' without the quotes. That opens a command line interface. You need to change to the directory into which you put all your booty. So type CD C:\ALEX (again the BBS may ruin this - there's a backslash between : and A.

You should be in the right directory. Type DIR to confirm this.

Now make damn sure there are NO SPACES in the name of the .ISO

Duke Nukem.iso IS WRONG

DUKENUKEM.ISO is correct.

In the Command Line Interface type:

popstation image.iso

and it will spend some time fussing with it. Out comes an EBOOT

Put that in a folder. Copy the keyfile into that folder. Copy that folder to the GAME folder.

It works. It really does.

Error 80010002

ARRGG! I put the keys and Eboot.PBP of my FF7 and yet I get this error!

I've researched this and it seems ISO's that weren't compatible with the accurate firmware got this error when they played them.

Problem is I HAVE 3.02 OE-B installed and ready to go! I moved all my homebrew in the PSP/GAME folder to PSP/Game150 with no problem.

I moved my newly created ISO file named "EBOOT" along with the keys I got from Hot Shots Golf 2 into a Folder titled "PlaystationX" (as the readme said I could name it whatever I wanted) and I start the game from the Memory Stick menu and it comes up with "80010002"

I don't know what is wrong but I'm open to suggestions!

Thanks in Advanced!

I got past my first 2 problems:

2)running popstation freom the command prompt

and now im a little confused.

I Got the Hot Shots Golf 2 EBOOT & KEYS files and ran popstation with a Ridge Racer ISO and am now playing Ridge Racer with a HSG2 icon. Does this mean I can play any compatible PS1 game with these EBOOT & KEYS files as long as I have the ISO for the game I want. I'm glad I finally got this son ***** to work, but now I'm almost as confused as when I started.

cozread the post clearly...it says "The only problem right now is that the emulator isn't 100% compatible with all the games out there. That's something you'll have to wait for Sony to fix."

any other compatible game will need this base.pbp keys.bin

Hi,

I got just one stupid nOOb question: i am still on 1.5 and I really want to upgrade to 3.02 OE-AB so I can play my PSX games. But I want to do it savely so I wanna use the auto installer by Chaos. But wat does the installer do? Does it instal 3.02 OE-A or does it just extract the files in the good places? And do I need to format my MS first. Plz somewhone answer my question.

Merry X-Mas to all. And srry for my bad English.

# No — xfloortjuhx 2006-12-25 22:46

First DH wont work on 2.82. Second DH cant play PSX games jet. And third you can play PSX games only 3.00 and higher so you have to wait for a 2.82 DG and a better working DH. Or when you are DG go to 3.02 OE-AB.

and it should start for further help email me at vicskyline@gmai l.com

# OH WOW. — Guest 2006-12-25 23:16

I think I tried everything: I got different ISOs of FFT, I tried using Syphon Filter as my BASE instead of Hot Shots 2, I tried putting the resulting EBOOT in GAME and GAME150, I tried converting Castlevania:SOT N instead of FFT, I even tried using different versions of cygwin1.dll. Nothing worked at all.

Then, on a whim, I decided to reboot my PSP. IT WORKS SO GLORIOUSLY. FFT's graphics are absolutely perfect, and the sound has an odd reverb that is totally rendered moot by the fact you're playing FFT on a PSP.

Just for reference's sake: I used Syphon Filter for my BASE.PBP and KEYS.BIN, and the latest cygwin1.dll from www.cygwin.com. I put the resulting EBOOT.PBP file and KEYS.PBP into /PSP/GAME/FFT.

# hmm problem — Guest 2006-12-26 04:57

When I download the oeb.rar, I unrar it fine, and copy the OEB_UPDATE folder inside the J:\PSP\GAME\GAM E150 folder... so the folder is now like this...

J:\PSP\GAME\GAM E150\OEB_UPDATE\E BOOT.PBP

When I disconnect the USB, and scroll over to Game > Memory Stick, theres one icon there, but it is Corrupted Data.

So when I try to run this, I get "This game cannot be started. The data is corrupted." message.

I tried putting the EBOOT.PSP inside the GAME150 folder, like this...

J:\PSP\GAME\GAM E150\EBOOT.PBP

Which if I then went to Game > Memory Stick would then show the "3.02 OE-B Update".

However, when I run this, it looks like it's running, makes the noise and the PSP logo comes up, but the screen comes back with the error "The game could not be started. (80020148)."

I have formatted the memory stick after each stage up upgrading, any idea where I'm going wrong?

# Some Images for Final Fantasy Tactics save files — Guest 2006-12-26 08:12

popstation quote:

By default, the program will use the ICON0.PNG, PIC0.PNG

and PIC1.PNG from the BASE.PBP. (hot shots)

If you want to use your own pics, place them in the same directory than popstation, and he will

take those.

I found some images that i thought looked pretty nice for the Final Fantasy Tactics PSX game.

Here is the link right click and save as ICON0.PNG in your popstation directory before you create your eboot for Final Fantasy Tactics

Here is the Icon

http://img318.imageshack.us/img318/4300/icon0hf9.png

And here is the background

http://img127.imageshack.us/img127/5650/pic1dl9.png

save it as PIC1.PNG in the same directory

!Note! When you save a game using these images the PIC1.PNG does not transfer to the save file. If you would like to see it in your SAVEDATA files you will have to manually copy it into the final fantasy tactics save game folder.

Is it possible for me to go directly to one of Dark Alex's firmwares ((2.71 SE or 3.02 OE)) without risking a downgrade?

Also, can I go directly from 1.5 to 3.02 OE-B, or do I need to go 2.71 SE-A, SE-B, SE-C, OE-A, OE-B?

Thank you very much!

# Soul Blade — Guest 2006-12-26 16:34

ok i got a .rar of SoulBlade, put it through DannyK's GUI, put it in 3.02 OE-B...and it works! It's a wee bit slower than the real deal, but after 15 minutes playing it works!

The one weird thing is that there are 4 .rar's I needed to convert, only did 1 of them, and got the game started. At 500+ mb, not enough room for all four isos...but it works with one! I anticipate the thing crashing when it looks for data I haven't loaded in the PSP... but so far this thing works like a charm.

DAX is the King, end of story. DannyKay is the f***ing prince of wales too.

# ok figured it out — Guest 2006-12-26 16:38

the first iso gets you the arcade version. without the other 3, you cannot get into the edge master section. Still, it's nice to go back to 1997 again with this :)

Having read through these comments it seems there are 4/5 other people with this problem, and a few of them have the datel hard drive (as i do). It appears that the hard drive is causing the problem, does anyone know any way around this or think there will be in the future? Or is anyone getting this problem using a normal memory stick?

# nope.. — doggmatic 2006-12-27 01:31

this is not the actual 3.02... 3.02 oe-b is emulating 3.02 firmware and 1.5 firmware... and it's always easy to go back to 1.5 if you want.. and this 3.02 oe-a will not lose your homebrew capabilities...

# No Spaces allowed! — Guest 2006-12-27 17:57

If you try to use popstation and get Invalid number of arguments, then it is most likely that you have a space in the name of the iso-img-or bin file... Ex: popstation image1.img will work, but popstation image 1.img will NOT, and will give you this error. Remove the space or replace it with an underscore _

you know whenever you launch a psx game off your memory stick the first thing it shows is a black and white screen with writing? think its annoying? i found out a way to get rid of this screen its accualy a really simple process all you do is open the hot shots golf 2 BASE.PBP with pspbrew and use your own UNKNOWN.PNG picture and save it and replace the origonal BASE.PBP with it. then you have to have any ICON0.PNG and PIC1.PNG pictures in the popstation or for some reason it says they are too big even if you dont have any. after you make the EBOOT.PBP with cmd it should say an error instead of done this is good now copy the EBOOT.PBP and the KEYS.BIN into a folder within the game folder of your PSP and load it like normal i have a link to a video i made with Final Fantasy 7 showing it skipping the PSOne emulator information here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=7Kkr6MjaDGk

# yo son — Guest 2006-12-29 19:43

hey to anybody who is having porblems with the black screen it is more than likley your iso, if you are creating your iso directly off your cd the use CDClone and version above 4.0 and then use psx2psp to create the eboot i had the same trouble for a while till i learned on those programs GOOD LUCK oh and mortal kombat 4 works flawlessly on the psp except for the movie scenes and re3 and re1 both work as well

# firmware bug? — Guest 2006-12-30 01:05

# Really nice work, but having trouble with file size — Guest 2006-12-30 05:37

this is really great, but isnt there anyway that the eboot file of your psx game can be any less in size? I mean you could fit like one game on an average 1GB memory stick from what I've seen. Basically, is there anyway to put your games on your mem stick with your other emus and savefiles and stuff, without having like a 4 gig card?

yo andy this error happens because you are using the 3.02 kernel. Use recovery (hold r when you turn your psp on) mode to change it to 1.5 kernel.

T stringfellow, this is not piracy, we are playing our own psx games

Anybody have a clue how to include the cue. file along with the bin file when making the eboot? Certain games (like warhawk and Twisted Metal)can only be converted to bin/cue files but popstation only uses the bin when making the eboot.

Without the cue file, there is no music during the game. Is there a GUI that takes cue files into consideration?

# No problem — Guest 2007-01-02 06:10

yeah...2.71 is okay. Sony actually shipped the emulator a while ago because they knew that retar--...I'm I mean people like you would want to play Playstation 1 games on their PSP. The PSP actually has the same performance specs at the PS3 (it also includes a cell processor!). Did you know that Silent Hill 6 and Resident Evil 8 are also due for release shortly after GTA X: Lada mariatchi Magunta?

Sure...PAL games work perfectly too ya moron - so don't come with that 'I wanna play be game legally' crap...cuz'in!

Oh - the best place to download PSP games is from one of the Sony websites (it's easy - just hand over some cash to them and you're on your way! Plus you can download anything that they have listed on their website - is that a BONUS or what?). Happy downloading!

# NO RECOVERY MODE??!! WTF?!! — Guest 2007-01-03 09:00

hi all, I am new to this.

So what I did.

Had a ta-82 mofo, followed all guides. Succesfully got inot 1.5 firmware, then did 3.02 OE-A and finally updated to 3.02 OE-B succesfully. System Information states 3.02 OE-B.

However, a simple thing such as enabling WMA can't do it. I keep pressing R button on power up and I never see any options that poeple claim to have. So I am not getting into recovery mode.

I followed a guide that said to REFORMAT the flash card. So I DID REFORMAT THE FLASH DRIVE. I guess it wiped out everything in there.

Now was I supposed to keep any important stuff on the mem card?

I am on 3.02 OE-B...

WHY I CAN'T GET INTO RECOVERY MODE!!??

:-'(

# 3.02OE-A to 3.02OE-B guide — Guest 2007-01-03 10:47

!!!!!!!!THIS WILL ONLY WORK IF YOUR PSP FIRMWARE IS 1.50!!!!!!!

NOTE: THIS WILL INSTALL THE FIRMWARE 3.02OE-B SO YOU NO LONGER HAVE THE FIRMWARE 1.50 IN YOUR PSP IT WILL BE REPLACED BY THE 3.02OE-B.

Q:WHY SHULD YOU UPGRADE YOUR PSP TO 3.02OE-B?

A:Because this new firmware lets you play ISO games from your memstick and PSX games. also you no longer need devhook.

Q: how do I play ISOS on firmware 3.02OE-B?

A: Make a folder caled ISO on the root of your memstick. Lets supose your PSP drive leter is K. then you should make this "K:\ISO" and put your ISOS there.

Plus if you dont like 3.02OE you can always go back to 1.50 like this:

1 - Download and decompress 3.02 OE-A if you do not have the original downloaded files already

2 - Copy the folder RECOVERY from inside the "flasher for recovery" folder you just downloaded to /PSP/GAME/

3 - Download the 1.50 Upgrade Eboot, name it "UPDATE.pbp", and put it in the RECOVERY folder

4 - Start your PSP in recovery mode

5 - In the Recovery menu, choose "Run program at /PSP/GAME/RECOVERY/EBOOT.PBP". This will flash the 1.50 EBOOT to your PSP. Don't shutdown the PSP and don't remove the memory stick until the update is finished.

6 - Once finished, shutdown the psp and restart manually to 1.50

1 - you have to download firmware 3.02OE-A and then the upgrade to 3.02OE-B

-3.02OE-A by Dark_AleX

http://dl.qj.net/dl.php?fid=11867

-3.02OE-B by Dark_AleX

http://dl.qj.net/dl.php?fid=11922

2 - Download firmware 1.50 and firmware 3.02

- firmware 1.50

http://dl.qj.net/dl.php?fid=163

- firmware 3.02

http://dl.qj.net/dl.php?fid=11627

3 - install then OE-A and then upgrade to OE-B.

4 - Unrar the FIRMWARE 3.02OE-A:

- You now have:

oeupdmaker and oeupdmaker%

oeflasher and oeflasher%

flasher for recovery

5 - Copy oeupdmaker and oeupdmaker% to /PSP/GAME/

6 - Get the 1.50 and 3.02 sony updaters in the oeupdmaker folder with the names "150.PBP" and "302.PBP"

7 - Run the program. This program won't write to the flash, it will just create a file called DATA.DXAR in the

same directory (oeupdmaker).

8 - The program will verify that the SHA-1 of the generated file is correct.

9 - Once that you have done this, you can save the DATA.DXAR file to skip this step in the future.

10 - After that copy the directories oeflasher and oeflasher% to /PSP/GAME

11 - Copy the generated DATA.DXAR file at oeflasher directory.

12 - Run the flasher from your PSP If your battery is less than 75%, the program will show the error saying that and will return to the XMB.

13 - Execute the program with triangle and L pressed.

14 - The program will continue showing an agreement. Press X to accept it and flash the custom firm, or R to cancel and exit to the XMB.

15 - If you accept, the program will flash the custom firmware. DONT shutdown the psp and DON'T quit the memory stick.

16 - shutdown the psp and restart manually you now have 3.02 OE A

- UPGRADE TO OE-B

1 - decompress 3.02 OE-B

2 - Copy the directory OEB_UPDATE to /PSP/GAME150/

3 - On your PSP, run the 3.02 OE-B Update program. It won't take long to update, and should finish within 10 second.

i am not an expert or sth but i think this will solve your problem.make sure you put your homebrew are in the GAME150 folder and also try different kernel modes 1.50 or 3.03 in the recovery menu.As for the popstation thing i also had problems and you can do this:go to C:\WINDOWS\syst em32\ and find the cmd and copy it to the popstation folder.Open the cmd and run popstation.exe from there. although there is an easier way that i do .Jst download a frontend for popstation.Hope i helped.AND PLEASE ANYONE HAS A SOLUTION FOR MY PROBLEM ABOVE?

I upgraded my PsP From FW1.50 to 3.02OE-A fine, without a problem. I then try updating 3.02OE-A to 3.02OE-B and it comes up with error saying "This game could not be played (80020148)"

Does anyone know what i am doing wrong, and can help me?
